Overview of the RealEats service:

RealEats provides meals that are individually crafted by chefs after you order, then vacuum packed to ensure the integrity and freshness of their ingredients.

The Real Eats meals are fully prepared, non-frozen and are ready to eat after 3-6 minutes of heating. All their meals are cooked by the process of ‘Sous-Vide’ which is a French cooking method. This involves putting ingredients in a bag which is then vacuum sealed and cooked to perfection in a water bath.

This particular method of cooking does not require any added fat or preservatives, which is why the meals of RealEats are healthy and low in calories, thus making them a great weight-management option.
